Raid nights are probably about the same time commitment, it may be 3 nights a week for most of these guilds? I dunno.
Outside time commitment is $20 wow token to sell each xpac to buy all of your consumables and probably most of your enchants for the xpac along with random gold you accumulate while playing. If you dragon race world quests you can probably buy every gem/consumable/enchant you need with like 30-45 min a week of time commitment.
M+ is roughly 4-6 hours a week excluding the first two weeks where it’s heavily incentivized to grind to get the max drop Ilvl from the dungeons. You bank valor until you find key pieces to upgrade. You’re just filling vault for more chances at tier or weapons.
After that you’re looking at a play commitment of 20-25 hours a week? No rep grinds are really required now. If you have to swap Alts you can’t get caught up to fully heroic geared in like two weeks.
I’m not sure I agree here.
Before anyone posts shade on my profile, I have raided mythic before but was not able to fully progress the raid. The additional time commitment to keep pushing wasn’t bad, the bottleneck was a raid L2P issue - not the wow systems. It was during SL on my DK so recent with similar gearing system.
